The change adds a safer LFS activation flow that ensures a
root .gitattributes file is not hidden by ignore rules and
activates local LFS filters. It also merges patterns from the
repository attributes with those reported by Git LFS to avoid
duplicates and inaccuracies.
- Adds a retry path for large LFS uploads by forcing HTTP/1.1
during pushes when an HTTP 413 error is returned.

exposed via a tauri command and event, enabling the frontend
to auto-open the repository when ready. The UI adds a small
startup flow with retry handling to ensure the path is
consumed once available.
- Reads --repo or --repo=PATH and resolves relative paths
- Signals UI to open startup repo via open-startup-repository
- Frontend retries opening the repo until it succeeds
Add support for authenticated deletion of remote branches and folders.
The backend adds a batch delete command that queries the remote,
performs an atomic push --delete when possible with a fallback, and
prunes stale tracking refs; it accepts optional credentials. The
frontend and JS API integrate credential handling and prompt users when
authentication is required.
- New batch deletion command with optional username/password for auth.
- Uses ls-remote to scope deletions, tries --atomic then falls back.
- Frontend updates: credential dialog/action, pendingRemoteDelete state.
Allow remote branch renames to be performed with optional credentials so
operations against protected remotes succeed when authentication is needed.
The backend accepts username/password and uses an authenticated push path
when provided, while the frontend prompts for and reuses stored credentials.
- Add optional username/password to rename RPC and use authenticated push
- Wire UI to queue rename, open credential dialog, and execute rename
- Extend credential dialog and handling to include the rename action
This change adds Git notes support to the history UI.

and unsafe states are rejected.
A new dialog lets users review and adjust the proposed groups before
creating the commits in sequence, with safeguards to preserve remaining
changes if something fails.
Introduces granular control over diff operations by enabling users to select individual lines within a hunk. This refactors the core logic across multiple components, allowing for precise staging, unstaging, or discarding of specific changes rather than operating on entire hunks. The UI now features dedicated controls and visual feedback for line-level selection.
- Refactored patch parsing to track selected line IDs and calculate range information.
